Aftab Shivdasani reveals remaining portions of 'Poison 2' had to be tweaked amid pandemic

Aftab Shivdasani, who made a comeback in the industry with his recent Zee5 web show, opened up about Poison 2's shooting location. As per a report by Mid-Day, Aftab revealed that a larger part of the revenge drama was shot in Goa before the pandemic. However, the remaining portions of the series had to be tweaked so that they could be filmed in an indoor location in compliance with the state government's guidelines, he added.

More so, Aftab mentioned that the team shot about 40 percent of the show in June-end with minimal crew. He continued that the team had originally booked certain locations in Goa for the schedule, but couldn't shoot there due to the COVID-19 restrictions; and hence, the script of Poison 2 had to be tweaked to match the new locations, stated Shivdasani. Speaking about the final location of the shooting of the show, the Masti actor stated that they filmed the portions in Lonavala and at a studio in Mumbai.
